"Dirty even by our standards", and Cam wasn't even there? He's going to have to up his game.

This is really interesting! I think they have similar issues with 'haunted' property in Japan. I read a manga where a character had a job where he'd temporarily live in haunted houses. Since nobody wants to live in a place where a person was murdered or committed suicide, landlords have to give...

Not having watched any of Regular Show before, I get the impression that it's like "Clerks", but with more weird?

Is 'the Nightclub at the End of the World' something like 'the Restaurant at the End of the Universe'? You get to go back and experience the show every evening? Or is it more exclusive than that, like they have the End of the World once a month and it's invitation only?

When I read the title for this Feed Dump, I wondered if it had anything to do with one of my previous landlords. He also bought eggplants for the same purpose.

This sounds like the kind of thinking that happens in a game development meeting. Dev #1: Ok, so the audience really wants more female lead characters, huh. We could have this girl on the cusp of being an adult, and through the game she has to grow and change and make difficult decisions as...

Does Feed Dump acquire all its own hats, or can we send appropriately ridiculous hats in for Graham to wear?

I must nominate Clancy Brown for this list. Have any of you seen Carnivale? Brother Justin is terrifying. He inspires the RUN AWAY instincts in my lizard-brain. And this is the same man, that by all accounts, is a lovely person, and does a lot of voiceover work including Mr. Krabs from Spongebob...

Yep. Black squirrels are a common thing around here. We also have white squirrels if you know where to look. There's one living in a park near where I live. It's so popular around our neighbourhood that there's a cafe called White Squirrel Cafe on that street.

Although I haven't played it myself, it seems like Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland is relevant to this discussion. You need money to do anything at all in the game. You have to pay to unlock new areas of the game, bribe people, fight monsters, etc, but your wallet is also your life bar.

This sounds like someone took the main concept from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and took it farther. I'm interested in where they went.

I'd say the Gohma's entrance in OoT is what makes it so memorable, but the actual fighting was hella more fun in WW. I just squished a giant, evil bug by dropping a dragon on it!! How awesome is that?!

I figured the same thing! Especially given Yahtzee's penchant for allegory. The punchline was a bit of a letdown, though, since the rhyme was so forced.

Amy Pohler vs. Tina Fey at Calvinball. Heck, I'd like to see anyone vs anyone else at Calvinball.

That was an interesting read about how to connect with students. Here's a story about another math teacher I think you'll like. http://notalwayslearning.com/math-exercise-dividers-of-theoden/30451
